Access more device settings via API?

[jenllip]

I am a power user of Tasker, with the AutoWeb plugin (which provides access to the Fitbit API). Currently, I'm GREATLY enjoying the ability to update/enable/disable the silent alarms via API.

However, I'd love to have access to more settings. For example, it'd be great if I could use my existing Tasker setup to toggle the Quick View Gesture to turn off when I go to bed (it's bright!) and turn back on after I dismiss my alarm in the morning. I'd similarly love to be able to toggle Notifications and even Reminders To Move (in case I go to bed before the normal time window). Any chance these kinds of settings will ever be accessible via API?

Hi ! Did you manage to sort this out ? Because I'm interested too 🙂

Developer here, bump because I would love access to change my fitbit's quick view setting so it is off by default when I sleep, see this thread https://community.fitbit.com/t5/Feature-Suggestions/Turn-off-quick-view-when-I-m-sleeping-or-at-cust...

Is there anyway you would be able to help me with this? I'm having a terrible time getting this going (been blocked my Fitbit 3 times) and reddit is down at the moment.

Hi @Aia8998 

I can think of 3 options for you.

1. The only settings you can change with the Fitbit Web API is configuring the alarms on older Fitbit devices.   See https://dev.fitbit.com/build/reference/web-api/devices/create-alarm/. 
2. If you have a smart watch, there are different setting you can configure using the Device SDK.  You can reach out to the SDK community for assistance if you need it.
3. You can reach out to our device customer support team at https://help.fitbit.com/support and one of the support agents can talk to you about which settings can be configured for your specific device.

Best,

Gordon
